❝ this is my home. ❞ ( from nikolai )

A brief smile flit across her face, soft and slightly bittersweet. She’d say something much more teasing if she was in the mood but with everything that had gone down, she couldn’t find it in her to say anything witty or sarcastic. all around them SHIELD was falling; the kids that had grown up without a home, lost the one they had found. Claire moved to stand close to Nikolai, outreaching her hand to wrap around his arm. ❜ I know, Nik, but maybe we can make a new home; something a little more sturdy. ❜ Not that she had known that SHIELD wasn’t going to be sturdy enough to withstand everything it had taken when she first joined. She had been young, confused and saw SHIELD as a place she could fit in - and she was sure that Nikolai had seen the same thing. ❜ We’ve still got that Avengers thing going, maybe that can be a new home. ❜
